About the Books
This collection gathers four of Karen M. McManus's most talked-about young adult thrillers into one giftable paperback set. One of Us Is Lying opens the run with a shocking premise: five students enter detention, and only four walk out alive, launching a mystery about the secrets teenagers keep to survive high school. Its companion novel, One of Us Is Next, returns to the same small town a year later, where an anonymous game of truth or dare turns deadly and old wounds resurface in new, dangerous ways. Two Can Keep a Secret moves to a different setting entirely, following a teen who arrives in a picture-perfect resort town only to discover that its homecoming-queen tradition hides a much darker history of unsolved deaths. The Cousins rounds out the set with a family-driven mystery, as three estranged cousins are summoned to their wealthy grandmother's private island and must untangle decades of buried secrets to understand why their parents were disinherited. Across all four novels, McManus uses shifting perspectives, tightly plotted reveals, and believable teenage voices to explore how easily trust can be broken and how far people will go to protect the people, and secrets, they love. Readers who enjoy contemporary mysteries with high-school settings, unreliable narrators, and satisfying final-act twists will find this an addictive, cohesive set that rewards careful reading from cover to cover.
